Winter storage

Post by Russ »

Yes, it's that time again. I've got a local RV storage provider who has offered a 10x40 indoor storage for $100/month. Tempting. Should I go for it?

Alternative is $40 outdoors. I'm thinking of going for the deal. I can put other stuff in a 10x40x10 space.

I'm guessing you get a ton of snow in Montana. If the extra $60/mo won't put you out then I'd definately go for it. Like the others said, it'd be very nice to have a place to work on the boat over the winter!
